      FYI French and never heard of a pill cutter. Used my fingers for the last 30 years and I would estimate the failure rate at well below 1%. It is just that the dent on this one is u shaped, while nearly all other are v shaped, making the snap easy easy. Also pill cutter seriously? Heard of knifes?

        Pill cutters are situationally easier for the elderly to use. They’re portable, don’t require a cutting surface, and generally have guards along the blade making it safer than a knife.

        What works for me is snapping it while my fingernail is in the groove. Gives a clean break down the center like every time.
